<br />JOE TENNESON - STORER CABLE <br />TV <br /> <br />Councilman Meier <br /> <br />Councilman Fauson <br /> <br />6/2/81 <br /> <br />Page -3- <br /> <br />Mr. Tenneson stated he wished to give <br />Council an interim report on the construction <br />of the Cable TV. There hadn't been much <br />progress made until now, because of an un- <br />fortunate situation unique to Louisville, <br />which was that Louisville is directly under- <br />neath a series of microwave transmissions <br />between Denver and the mountains with their <br />repeaters. All sites they had pursued for <br />headend location had noise causing white <br />dots in Cable TV. Another problem they <br />encounter,ed was internal reorganization- <br />the key person in the engineering depart- <br />ment caused a 6 weeks delay because the <br />site was not checked thoroughly and promptly. <br />In the interim he has been replaced and <br />all orders have been placed for Louisville's <br />headend electronic equipment with the top <br />line. Thl~ system is being designed with <br />the sophisticated equipment and will be <br />ready in 2-3 weeks. The telephone company <br />is causing some problem, but the down-guys <br />and anchors will be started next week. <br />Underground portion of the system will <br />be going in approximately 3 weeks. They <br />expect to have Cable TV on line within 5-6 <br />weeks. The system will involve 31 miles. <br />Mr. Tenneson distributed flyers depicting <br />the initial programs offered. He informed <br />Council that Patty Stahl, an extremely com- <br />petent person, was their office manager. <br />Inquired if all clearances had been obtained <br />from the utility companies. <br />Mr. Tenneson advised that they had tri-lateral <br />completed agreement. with their company, <br />Public Service and Mountain Bell. <br />Councilman Meier advised that the Boulder <br />Mountain Bell office was extremely difficult <br />to deal with and suggested that perhaps someone <br />else maybe more cooperative. <br />Inquired of Hr. Tenneson if they intend to <br />have all their cable in place by Sept. or Oct. <br />Mr. Tenneson replied their agreement specified <br />it should be done the first part of September <br />and that deadline would be met. He also <br />advised that they had purchased a site in <br />our Industrial Area just west of Golden <br />Concrete, approximately 1 acre, a 3,000 sq.ft. <br />
